This includes infrastructure providers, tokenization platforms, metaverse enablers, and major DeFi projects, making it the region’s largest concentration of crypto businesses.

What is Bitcoin.com?
Bitcoin.com, known for introducing millions of users to digital assets through its accessible educational platform and global news site, plans to leverage Dubai’s thriving digital economy. The company will also contribute its global expertise to accelerate the growth of the regional crypto ecosystem.
Corbin Fraser, CEO of Bitcoin.com, added, “The UAE is leading by example when it comes to pioneering crypto solutions. With clear and progressive regulations, a fast-track licensing process and a genuine appetite for innovation, Dubai has created one of the most welcoming environments in the world for Web3 companies.”
Dubai’s emergence as a global digital asset hub is largely attributed to its progressive regulatory approach. Establishing the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) as the world’s first independent virtual assets regulator has provided clarity and security for companies. This clear regulatory environment and Dubai’s tax-friendly regime and global connectivity attract major players worldwide.
The DMCC Crypto Centre provides Web3 companies access to an international business district that houses over 25,000 businesses across various industries. DMCC currently hosts over 3,200 tech companies, with over 800 within its integrated technology and innovation ecosystem, including the DMCC Gaming Centre and DMCC AI Centre.
